God's body Creates

Can God create without a body? God is internal, vertical, and Heart having no give & take (receive) with the horizontal, external resultant creation. Can a being without the ability to test His creation make improvements on it?1 God had to grow2. In this paper I suggest that God’s body is us humans3. That’s not new. The theory I present here is that God created His children, starting from the most elemental of particles which grew over time. They’re still being created / born, and forever will be, growing & developing. However, God directly created nothing else. Creation to a next higher level takes love, conscious thought; random vertical evolution is an impossibility, according to Principle.

God has no body other than we humans, His children. God’s spirit dwells in us humans, even when fallen; when mankind is centered on our conscience, God can work in and through us. Other than with humans God directly cannot enjoy, get direct inspiration from, nor have give & take (receive) with other creation, which is horizontal & external. Creation is mankind’s to make, make use of, and enjoy. We enjoy directly; God enjoys vicariously. Perfection of a creation takes development through give & take (receive) action, trial and error, etc. Humans seek to create and enjoy truth, beauty & goodness, growth of spiritual mind & physical body. Principle states they grow together4.

Our spirit is born tabula rasa. We’re all born with the same potential. Our life experiences and influences mold our spirit and character, making us who we are

1 God is bound by His Principles. Divine Principle. Pg 77. 2 Divine Principle pg 50. ‘All things are designed to reach completion only after passing through a set growing period..All created beings, having been conceived in the likeness of God, manifest their existence, movement and growth through a course of three stages.’ In a speech Father also more directly mentioned that God had to grow. 3 Divine Principle. Pg 55. ‘The spirit mind is the center of the spirit self, and it is where God dwells.’ 4 Divine Principle pg 56. The spirit grows..from the physical self’. ‘The spirit can grow only while it abides in the flesh.’

Although we might expect mankind’s physical body to continue its evolution in the future, new models stem out of old ones. This requires micro management. God’s embodiment as His children is in part designed with that mission in mind.

Leadership When honoring an achievement we often credit its leader / creator; but the person doesn’t work alone, he / she leads a proven team. God, Santa, Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, etc. They’re all credited for their achievements but in reality they led dedicated teams. As much as we credit great leaders with vision for their creations, thousands or millions of people have been part of the effort to bring these dreams to fruition. In the same vein, we give God credit for creation surrounding His children, however the creation of our environment includes 100% of God’s 95% plus 100% effort of mankind’s 5% input. Lots of God-centered human & prehuman elemental effort went into the making of all our surroundings.

The creative seed existing in humans today has been essentially the same as the first, as it will be forever. God initially manifests as the most basic elemental matter. This manifestation grows & develops based on first creating its environment.

In the God-given spirit, which hasn’t essentially changed since the creation of the first most elemental particle, was included the seed to achieve, and to grow through the Principle of giving first then receiving. Give. Love. It’s all in our spiritual genes.

The spirit potential hasn’t changed since the first manifestation; the original ancestral being; this includes all God’s children around the cosmos, including what we’d call extraterrestrials. I.E., God takes no direct credit or blame for our creations. He works in us, His children, as we practice our creativity. We’re fully responsible for our creations. Some of His children designed beautiful flowers; others cockroaches & mosquitoes. We have free will. Creativity has no limit. We’ve seen good, beautiful as well as terrifying. God works with our results,5 regardless of good or bad.

From the first manifestation, the spirit contained all the necessary software, to use a 21st century concept, for building an environment, multiplying & being creative.

Truth, Beauty & Goodness God answers seeking minds6. From the beginning we were to live with the ideals of Truth, Beauty & Goodness, creating and appreciating it all. Man grows in the process.

There’s evidence that creation is done precisely, in part, for the creation & appreciation of beauty7, as well as for practical reasons, such as eating, keeping warm, etc. Generally, we see beauty & harmony. But why are there strange beings such as merciless tigers, 20-meter anacondas, cockroaches, fleas, etc.?

Does creation have loyalty to God, Heaven? Is there gratitude or acknowledgment for existence? Creation follows Principle, the laws under which they were created. There exists within the spirit of creation an element to respond to humankind, who they serve with loyalty. Animals, under direct care of humans can & do coexist peacefully8. This magic is called love. Evidence of animals caring can be seen in their saving & protecting babies of other species when food or safety isn’t concerned. Many videos give evidence of this fact9.

Examples of art & patterns in creation One question to biology comes from the impossible probability of randomness involved in comparable patterns found often in similar climatic regions, or in a single area. Many of these areas are of recent formation, far too recent for sudden evolution to have reacted and created adaptable animals or plants.

6 Bible Matthew 7:7. ‘Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you’. 7 Divine Principle pg 47. 8 Bible: lion & lamb sleep together. Isaiah 11: 6. 9 YouTube ‘animals protecting other animals’ or related topics.

In these above picture & links we see examples of flowers with shapes very much resembling beings in the animal kingdom. It is as if someone had drawn pictures and then had them inserted in a flower design. Often the flowers are of the same species, as in the magnolias in the above pictures. Random evolution cannot produce this. It’s very creative & beautiful, inscribing images of animal life on plants.

Patterns and beauty I have seen other examples of what I consider hints of conscious design in the creation we live with today. These are questions biology may claim having answers of randomness to but fall short of convincing..at least this author.

Though genetically so different, why are there animals with externally seemingly similar characteristics in some ways but in actuality not related, in specific locations, while others are as if strewn to distant points? How do God’s children work? Alone or in teams? It would seem that different groups got together and created visually comparable fauna & flora, as if for a competition or to prove an experimental point or for a subsistence purpose, or just to create an interesting and beautiful environment. General examples put together are elephants, hippos & rhinos; llamas, camels & dromedaries; kangaroos, koalas & other marsupials; etc. If there’s no genetic common root, then why comparable patterns? Synchronicity? Beauty?

God’s perfection isn’t a point in time but in the never ending O-D-U process; He’s still 4

creating - forever - never bored, never two the same, etc. He’s always excited at new prospects.

Pre-humans have always had heart of creativity, 3rd blessing. At times working alone; at times in groups.

Conclusion True Parents have often spoken that humans are orphans. True Parents came as the original parents of mankind and the cosmos. Jesus said before Abraham was I am10. Knowing our roots is all important to ward off odd mythical ideas. Our ignorance gives way to orphan hearts.

I see God’s body, elementals, pre-humans, as having dispersed and created the cosmos. In the billions of years since the beginning there was The Great Diaspora. God’s body scattered in Origin - Division - Union fashion. Since the creation of the first beings, there was a final cosmic intent of perfecting the creation process by bringing all God’s children together. I see this as God’s greatest ongoing dream and plan.

Over the eons the diaspora created children who have never met or even imagined the possibility of sibling beings existing across the cosmos. Adam & Eve, Jesus and True Parents might have been but a recent cosmic attempt at starting this union process. All cosmic beings share one heart as God’s children, and as different as we may have turned out, even through genetic engineering, our Heavenly Parent wants His family united. True Parents have succeeded at laying a foundation.

According to the Divine Principle our physical body gives us our character11 & personality, but God imbues one same spirit in each human creation. Our cosmic siblings may have developed different cultures but they all have the same dreams of interdependence, mutual prosperity & universally shared values12 and to be with us, family.
